Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Chatham Financial is a leading independent capital markets advisor, focused on delivering expert advice and technology solutions. The Lease Advisory Consultant will serve as a subject matter expert in commercial real estate leases, collaborating with product and technology teams to enhance tooling for lease data extraction and validation.
Responsibilities
- Partner with product and technology teams to design and refine in-house tooling that extracts lease data from client lease documents
- Validate tool outputs against source documents and expert judgment, and feed structured findings back into the tooling to drive measurable quality improvements
- Help define and refine the data model for lease outputs — shaping how provisions are represented so the structure is efficient, scalable, and commercially meaningful
- Identify provisions and lease concepts that we should be extracting but currently aren't, and make the case for their inclusion based on client value and real estate relevance
- Diagnose where extraction tooling misinterprets ambiguous or non-standard lease language, and advise on correct interpretation and handling
- Bring leasing-market conventions and commercial context into product decisions, so the tooling reflects how leases actually function in practice
- Communicate clearly across a cross-functional team that includes non-real-estate professionals, translating complex lease concepts into terms engineers and product managers can build against
Skills
- Direct, senior-level experience with commercial real estate tenant leases — asset management, lease audit, lease administration, brokerage, or a related professional services discipline
- Strong structural understanding of lease terms and provisions across multiple asset classes, with the ability to reason about how lease data should be organized rather than simply recording it
- A product-oriented mindset: comfort working alongside technology and operational teams, and a track record of improving processes or tools rather than just operating within them
- Sharp judgment for identifying gaps, edge cases, and inconsistencies — and the commercial instinct to know which ones matter
- Clear, concise communication — written and verbal — with the ability to explain lease concepts to a non-specialist, technical audience
- Ability to work independently, manage a flexible workload, and deliver against defined quality standards
- Familiarity with structured data and comfort with Microsoft Excel preferred
- Exposure to data modeling, lease abstraction tooling, or proptech a strong plus
Benefits
- Professional development opportunities to help you grow in your career
- Immediate opportunities to partner with talented subject matter experts
- Work on complex projects
- Contribute to the value Chatham delivers every day
